Plant ID in SW Georgia needed!

19 years ago

I am currently in southwestern Georgia. We believe this plant arrived in a load of locally obtained mulch. It disappears with the frost. Comes out in spring with pretty tender, succulent, pale to mint-green foliage [not thick or like jade plants or anything]; it soon produces stalks which grow to an average height of about 16-18"- and then flowers into a trumpet-shaped maroon/reddish flower with yellow at the distal tips of the petals. They grow from clusters of tender pale green tuberous which reproduce readily. [It would be hard to get rid of if you wanted to!]Hummingbirds love it! We had a scorching summer this year- after blooming in the spring, the plants receded- but are coming back for potentially a second bloom this fall. Help!!This may be a duplicate post as I am trying to attach photos but haven't been given that option yet! LOL
